  • Rotary International
    ROTARY INTERNATIONAL THE FIRST FORTY YEARS. A HISTORY OF THE ROTARY CLUB OF BELCONNEN A.C.T. INCORPORATED. Authors: Past President John Sheldrick Past President Peter Oldham 2 Historical Note from the Authors This history of the Rotary Club of Belconnen Inc. was researched and developed in two parts and hence the ‗Forward‘ comprising input from two Presidents and the Charter President. The first part was commissioned by the then President Warren Karle in his Rotary year, 2007-2008, and comprised most of Part One – The Formative Years. The second was commissioned by President Rod Menzies in his Rotary year, 2010-2011 as a means of recognising in some small way the 40th Anniversary of the Club. We hope that this publication will give another strong indication that the impact the Rotary Club of Belconnen has had, not only on the local community, but nationally and indeed internationally. The camaraderie, fellowship and contribution of all members over the years are quite amazing. We trust you find it a good read. John Sheldrick Peter Oldham Past President Past President 3 Foreword John Sheldrick and Peter Oldham have devoted many hours in compiling this history of the Rotary Club of Belconnen. It has required much research into early records, and has resulted in a very readable and comprehensive account of the formation of one of the most successful clubs in the district. We were chartered as ‗Rotary Club of Canberra – Belconnen‘ in 1971. This was a very exciting time in the development of Belconnen. Charter members were mostly new to Canberra, in new jobs, living in new houses in new suburbs.

It 5.00pm struck me as a fairly selfish outlook to always put yourself and your nation first regardless of the needs of others. It raises deep Friday 9 August questions of what we prioritise as a nation, a school, a family, and O’Donoghue House Day as an individual. Such a message seems to lack a commitment in 5T Class Assembly, 2.15pm, Junior School Hall showing a concern for those most in need and lacking a generosity Bookings close for Marist Mothers’ and of spirit.

  • Marist College Enews
    19 SEPTEMBER 2018 Marist College Enews Important dates Dear Marist Family, Thursday 20 September R U OK Day Oral Reporting Year 7-12 I am currently reading a wonderful book on the Churchill family, arguably one of Britain’s most famous families. It is a vivid and brilliant Friday 21 September tale of the dynasty dating back to the 1820s. The book portrays an Year 12 Formal extraordinary set of men and women – grandly ambitious, impulsive, Saturday 22 September arrogant and brave. They have been politicians, gamblers, war heroes and womanisers. Towering above the Churchill clan is the figure of Rowing Club Information Session, 5.00pm – 6.00pm Winston, possibly the greatest leader in the English speaking world of Sunday 23 September - the 20th Century. The author, Mary Lovell, provides an in-depth account Friday 28 September of Winton’s private life and the lives of those around him. She noted Year 12 Retreat Winston Churchill famously referred to his gloomy periods as his ‘black dog’, and drew upon this image to conceptualise his struggle with depression. Many of us are aware Monday 24 September - of Ian Thorpe’s battle with depression that dogged his career. Thorpe, usually a private man, spoke Friday 28 September candidly about his secret battle with alcohol to manage his suicidal thoughts. What was particularly Year 9 Middle Earth surprising was his ability to hide his struggles with mental health from a battery of sports psychologists and coaches. The reality is, that for many people who battle with mental illness, their journey is a private Tuesday 25 September one.
